That remark was very vanilla in nature. Much to your happiness I have not been able to send anything out lately. I don't even know if you'll get this, but there's no sense crying over frozen milk. I did have a few good ones on the brush question.

Please respond to TechNet E-Mail Forum; Please respond to Steve Hodge George, I am sorry you feel you have to downgrade my opinion as being a sales pitch or "wife's tail". I am stating data -substantiated facts and I could care less about selling something to you or anyone else. A wife's tail? What? My wife does not have a tail. I think it should be "wive's tale" anyway. At 12:30 PM 08/11/2005, you wrote: >John, > >Your opinionated! but then too so am I.
